Reading in poor light ruins your eyesight: True/False?
Not that this imprecation ever keeps budding young bookworms from discovering if the hero prevails and the smugglers get their desserts, or whatever. Perhaps, if your vision has dimmed, you occasionally curse your youthful self for taking such a cavalier and, well, short-sighted attitude. If so then you can relax a bit because the consensus is that poor light doesn't make a permanent difference to eyesight.
The brain does respond to low light by rejigging the eye and this can lead to painful eye strain but this seems to be a strictly temporary effect.
If you're short sighted, though, don't let the younger you off the hook just yet. There is a controversial theory that reading in poor light can lead to short sight — not because of the light, but because of the reading.
Good, you're still here. That means you haven't thrown down the magazine in disgust and sworn of the written word forever. You realise that the benefits of reading easily compensate for any myopia (though, to be fair, glasses or contact lenses help a lot too).
The idea here is that focusing a lot on near objects makes the eye permanently adapt for near vision at the expense of distance vision. The body may achieve this by allowing the eye to grow longer than it normally would.
Part of the support for this use-abuse theory comes from the popular observation that intelligent people tend to be short sighted, which is backed up by some more rigorous research. The proposed link isn't direct. It's assumed that intelligent people seek — or are encouraged to seek — more things to read. Intelligence itself doesn't lead to myopia, but the act of reading (or performing any close work) does — assuming the theory is true. Further support comes from the observations of Eskimo populations that became much more short-sighted once Western education became widespread.
The causes of myopia aren't yet well understood, so we'll have to wait for the facts before reading can be "blamed" for ruining eyesight.. But poor light, at least, seems to be an innocent bystander.

Bilfinger wins £15m maintenance contract extension with BP Chemicals at Saltend in Hull
Bilfinger wins £15m maintenance contract extension with BP Chemicals at Saltend in Hull
By Hull Daily Mail | Posted: 13 Jun 2017
Almost 100 jobs have been secured at Saltend after Bilfinger Industrial Services secured a £15m contract with BP Chemicals.
The engineering and maintenance provider has signed a three-year deal with the chemicals giant.
The contract will see Bilfinger provide a range of services at BP's facilities on the 370-acre site, including mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, scaffolding and insulation.
Duncan Hall, executive president of Bilfinger North West Europe, said the agreement will secure about 90 existing jobs at the site.
He said: "The contract is strategically important to our operations in Humberside and further cements our position as a leading engineering services provider to the UK's onshore and offshore energy industries."
Employing 4,000 people in the UK, Bilfinger is one of the world's leading providers of integrated technical services to the process industry and the energy sector, covering the entire lifecycle of industrial plants and oil and gas facilities – from engineering to maintenance.
The business is part of German engineering and service conglomerate, Bilfinger SE group.
The multi-service contract at Saltend extends a previous agreement between Bilfinger and BP, and is for an initial three years, with an option to extend the contract up to 2024.
It comes after Bilfinger won a five-year contract extension with BP to provide maintenance services at the Forties Pipeline System Terminals in Grangemouth and the Sullom Voe Terminal in Shetland, which secured 210 jobs.
Mr Hall said: "BP is a long term strategic partner for Bilfinger and we've supported them across their upstream and midstream assets for 10 years."The new extension will help us build on our close working relationship with BP, while ensuring their assets on the Saltend complex continue to drive world-class chemicals and renewable energy development at the heart of the UK's Energy Estuary."

Moving on! Since Khloe Kardashian parted ways with Lamar Odom, the former NBA star has gotten his life back on track! Now, HollywoodLife.com has Khloe's sweet wishes for her ex-hubby.

"Khloe is so happy right now there is no room in her heart for any anger," a Kardashian insider tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

The NBA champ recently paid a visit to The Wendy Williams Show where he stated that he's certain it's best for them to stay apart going forward.

Interior Architecture Undergraduate Program
About the Program
Whether as intimate and familiar as a home or as dramatic and monumental as an international airport, our surroundings have a significant impact on the way we live. Interior designers recognize the importance of this impact. They create distinct, responsive, functional, and dynamic environments for living and working. These environments are shaped through the understanding and application of theories related to programming, ergonomics, anthropometrics, egress, building codes, green design as well as formal aspects of architecture and furniture. As an interior architecture major at Ohio University, you can learn how these elements combine to meet the physical, psychological, social, and intellectual needs of people in a variety of settings. Students who successfully complete the portfolio review process become part of the Interior Architecture Program. This program uses traditional drawing, model making, and computer-based design software in the development and planning of interior space. The Interior Architecture design studios foster a creative and productive workspace for all majors with 24/7 access.
Four Year Program
The Interior Architecture major is a four year program. A traditional freshman student can easily complete the program in a four year time frame. If a student comes to the program as a sophomore, junior, or older student, it will require four years of college work to graduate. The only exception to this is if a student comes to us with a portfolio of work that is sufficient to place them directly into the next portfolio review, or to place them directly into the design studio curriculum.
Course descriptions and program requirements are available in the Ohio University Undergraduate Catalog.
Portfolio Review
The program conducts a yearly portfolio review, at the end of Freshman year through which eighteen (18) students are selected to advance in the program. The number of students selected is limited by accreditation standards, number of faculty, and physical facilities. To prepare for the portfolio review students are required to take five Foundations courses (see the undergraduate catalog for the listing of courses) and then assemble the visual work from each of those classes into a folio. The faculty of the program review the work, and based on that review, select eighteen students to be admitted into the the major. Students denied admission through the portfolio review must identify another major.
Working with their academic adviser, a student may incorporate some of the Interior Architecture courses into a program such as the Bachelor of Specialized Studies (B.S.S.) that is administered in University College. This option provides for a special course of study, when nothing similar exists elsewhere at Ohio University. Through this option a student can create a major by combining at least two academic areas into a course of study.
Transfer Students
It is imperative for students to speak with an interior architecture faculty member prior to, or at the time of transfer. A discussion regarding course selection must occur between the student and an interior architecture faculty member prior to registering for courses. Students who wish to transfer into the interior architecture major must submit a portfolio of work for review to the faculty. Students with previous design work will have their transcripts sent and reviewed for equivalencies in required coursework (see below). Admitted students must complete all major requirements.
Computer Requirement
Students who successfully complete the portfolio review process are required to provide and maintain a computer, meeting program specifications, for all studio courses. Currently the program uses software such as AutoCAD, 3D Modeling softwares, Adobe PhotoShop, and Adobe Illustrator. Computer specifications are sent to students along with their notice of admission following the portfolio review process. The specification may change with every entering group of students as technology advances.
Internship Requirement
The program requires that each student complete a professional internship, that is typically served with an interior design or design-related firm. The internship is completed after the Junior year.
Career Direction
For more than 30 years, Ohio University's interior design program has been preparing graduates for successful careers in residential and non-residential design, as well as in related areas such as lighting, visual display, sales and showroom management.
Student Achievement Data
- Job Placement: 83% of May 2013 graduates were employed in design related positions by May 2014.
- Acceptance into Graduate Programs: 100% of the students that applied to graduate schools from the May 2013 graduating class were accepted.
- Graduation Rates: 88% of the students from the class of 2013 graduated in 4 years.
- Retention: 100% of students enrolled spring 2013 semester returned fall 2013.
CIDA Accreditation
College level Interior Design programs that meet the standards and guidelines set forth by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) are granted accreditation for up to a six year term. The Ohio University Interior Architecture program (prior to 2001 called Interior Design) has been continuously accredited since the early 1990's. CIDA accreditation indicates that a program offers a broadly defined professional education for students.
Why is the program called Interior Architecture?
The profession of interior design as it is practiced today, both in the United States, and internationally, involves complex work that influences the health, welfare, and safety of users of the spaces. For this reason and others, the name 'interior architecture' is, in our view, a more appropriate and contemporary description of our discipline.
- Upon graduation our students are qualified through their professional degree, to pursue full professional status as interior designers.
- In the state of Ohio, and throughout the United States, the term 'interior architect' is only legally allowed if one is a legal, registered, architect.
- Our program does not claim to be preparing students to become architects.
- As design educators we seek to engage and to understand the built environment at all scales, from the small and intimate scale of objects such as watches, pens, shoes, lamps, sinks, and tables, to the large and public experience of rooms, houses, and skyscrapers. Large, small, inside, outside, architecture is the world of built, designed, and manufactured things.
- The faculty and students in this program primarily explore the architecture of inside spaces. We understand architecture as the forms, materials, functions, and technologies used to bring these together in the creation of objects, spaces, and communities.
- Interior architecture brings together in one curriculum the explorations and study of interiors (interior materials, finishes, furnishings, and industrial design) and architecture (concerned with the design and construction of buildings and the systems within them).
- Students in this program learn about how spaces, and components within spaces, are designed, constructed, and used.
- At the core of creating interior architecture is the activity of designing. Designing is a purposeful, systematic, and creative activity.
- The process of designing things is purposeful: designers give form, color, texture, and scale, to products, interiors, and visual communications, and address the functional, psychological, and aesthetic needs of users.
- Doing design is systematic: it involves the analysis of problems and situations in the built environment, and the transformation of findings into appropriate and useful proposals.
- Design is also creative: designers must possess the knowledge, skill, and attitudes to create compelling visual and functional forms for spaces and components within them.
- Design is not simply physical making. A building, a chair, a lamp, a watch, is not 'designed' because it physically exists. Design is an approach to making; to be considered 'design' there must be a central, core, aspect of the object that addresses ideas, issues, and characteristics of the time, of the place, of the culture in which the object will exist.
Interior Architecture Programs In The United States Include:
- Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Bachelor of Interior Architecture
- University of Oregon (Bachelor of Interior Architecture)
- Academy of Art, San Francisco, Bachelor of Interior Architecture & Design
- Kansas State, Bachelor of Interior Architecture/Design
- University of North Carolina-Greensboro, Bachelor of Science
- Auburn University, Bachelor of Interior Architecture
- School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Bachelor of Interior Architecture
Definition of Interior Design (Nationally Defined in the USA by IDEC/NCIDQ)
Interior design is a multi-faceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve a built interior environment. These solutions are functional, enhance the quality of life and culture of the occupants and are aesthetically attractive. Designs are created in response to and coordinated with the building shell and acknowledge the physical location and social context of the project. Designs must adhere to code and regulatory requirements, and encourage the principles of environmental sustainability. The interior design process follows a systematic and coordinated methodology, including research, analysis and integration of knowledge into the creative process, whereby the needs and resources of the client are satisfied to produce an interior space that fulfills the project goals.
Interior design includes a scope of services performed by a professional design practitioner, qualified by means of education, experience and examination, to protect and enhance the health, life safety and welfare of the public. These services may include any or all of the following tasks:
- Research and analysis of the client's goals and requirements; and development of documents, drawings and diagrams that outline those needs
- Formulation of preliminary space plans and two and three dimensional design concept studies and sketches that integrate the client's program needs and are based on knowledge of the principles of interior design and theories of human behavior
- Confirmation that preliminary space plans and design concepts are safe, functional, aesthetically appropriate, and meet all public health, safety and welfare requirements, including code, accessibility, environmental, and sustainability guidelines
- Selection of colors, materials and finishes to appropriately convey the design concept and to meet socio-psychological, functional, maintenance, lifecycle performance, environmental, and safety requirements
- Selection and specification of furniture, fixtures, equipment and millwork, including layout drawings and detailed product description; and provision of contract documentation to facilitate pricing, procurement and installation of furniture
- Provision of project management services, including preparation of project budgets and schedules
- Preparation of construction documents, consisting of plans, elevations, details and specifications, to illustrate non-structural and/or non-seismic partition layouts; power and communications locations; reflected ceiling plans and lighting designs; materials and finishes; and furniture layouts
- Preparation of construction documents to adhere to regional building and fire codes, municipal codes, and any other jurisdictional statutes, regulations and guidelines applicable to the interior space
- Coordination and collaboration with other allied design professionals who may be retained to provide consulting services, including but not limited to architects; structural, mechanical and electrical engineers, and various specialty consultants
- Confirmation that construction documents for non-structural and/or non-seismic construction are signed and sealed by the responsible interior designer, as applicable to jurisdictional requirements for filing with code enforcement officials
- Administration of contract documents, bids and negotiations as the client's agent
- Observation and reporting on the implementation of projects while in progress and upon completion, as a representative of and on behalf of the client; and conducting post-occupancy evaluation reports.

The world experienced a first for 11 minutes on Thursday night.
US President Donald Trump was not on Twitter. The president's account was temporarily kicked offline by a Twitter employee. At first, Twitter claimed it was an "inadvertent" human error. But a couple of hours later, the company followed up and said the incident was caused by a "customer support employee who did this on the employee's last day of work."
That statement suggests that the deactivation may not have been an accident.

U.S. Supreme Court Holds That Class Plaintiffs May Use Sampling Evidence to Establish Predominance of Common Issues If Such Evidence Would Be Admissible to Prove Liability in Individual Suits
The Supreme Court held yesterday in Tyson Foods, Inc. v. Bouaphakeo1 that representative evidence may be used to establish class-wide liability—and that common questions may predominate over individual ones—if it could be used to establish liability in an individual action. At issue in Tyson Foods was whether a class of workers in a food processing plant could rely on expert studies calculating, based on observing a sample of employees, the average amount of time spent donning and doffing protective equipment to establish the amount of overtime pay to which members of the class were entitled. The Court concluded in a narrow decision that such evidence was admissible in this class and collective action because it would have been admissible to show an employer's liability in an individual lawsuit, under a rule set forth in the Court's decision in Anderson v. Mt. Clemens Pottery Co.2 The Court declined to address Tyson's separate contention that the plaintiffs were required to prove that uninjured employees would not receive damages under the lump-sum award, thus leaving that question open.
Tyson Foods operates a pork-processing plant in Storm Lake, Iowa. Tyson generally compensates the hourly employees of that plant under a "gang-time" system, which compensates them according to the time spent at their workstations. But before reporting to their workstations, these workers, most of whom use knives or other cutting tools, must don varying levels of protective and sanitary equipment, depending on the tasks performed. In 1998, Tyson began compensating all its production workers for four additional minutes a day on top of their "gang-time," representing the time Tyson estimated it took the workers to don and doff their protective gear. Beginning in 2007, however, Tyson started paying knife-wielding employees for an additional few minutes per day, but ceased paying other employees for any additional time.
Peg Bouaphakeo and five other employees in the plant's "kill," "cut," or "retrim" departments brought suit on behalf of themselves and a class of current and former hourly-wage employees at the Storm Lake plant, alleging that Tyson violated the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 ("FLSA")3 and the Iowa Wage Payment Collection Law ("IWPCL")4 by failing to pay them overtime to compensate for the time they spent donning and doffing protective gear. Because Tyson did not keep records of the time individual employees spent donning and doffing, the class representatives sought to establish how much overtime they believed they had worked through representative evidence. In particular, they relied on an expert report that, relying on videotaped observations of a sample of the employees donning and doffing their gear, calculated an average estimate of time that the workers in each department spent per week in that preparatory process.
The district court rejected Tyson's argument that, due to variations in the amount of protective gear the putative class members wore, their claims were not sufficiently similar to be resolved on a class-wide basis. After Tyson opposed the plaintiffs' motion to bifurcate the liability and damages phases, the case proceeded to a single trial. Based on the averages calculated by the plaintiffs' expert and other representative evidence discussed above, the plaintiffs argued to the jury that Tyson owed the employees $6.7 million in unpaid wages. The jury found for the plaintiffs and awarded the class approximately $2.9 million.
A divided Eighth Circuit panel affirmed. Like the district court, the majority rejected Tyson's argument that differences in the protective equipment worn by the employees of various departments made class certification inappropriate. It also rejected Tyson's argument that the class had to be decertified because some class members concededly did not work overtime and thus had not been injured.5
In a 6-2 decision authored by Justice Kennedy, the Supreme Court held that the representative evidence offered by the plaintiffs was properly admitted to prove Tyson's liability to all class members, and thus to show that common issues in the litigation predominated over individual ones.6 The Court first rejected Tyson's argument for a broad rule banning the use of statistical sampling or other "representative evidence" in all class actions, concluding that if such evidence would be reliable proof to support an individual claim, the same "evidence cannot be deemed improper merely because the claim is brought on behalf of a class."7 In other words, "[w]hether and when statistical evidence can be used to establish classwide liability" depends on "the purpose for which the evidence is being introduced" and "'the elements of the underlying cause of action.'"8
As for the claims at issue in the case, the Court held that the employees could establish the extent of Tyson's liability under the FLSA through the use of representative evidence. The Court noted that under its decision in Anderson v. Mt. Clemens Pottery Co., when an employer does not keep records of the time its employees spend doing certain activities, the employees can carry their burden by introducing evidence sufficient to show the amount of time worked "as a matter of just and reasonable inference."9 The Court reasoned that, because Tyson had not kept records of the time the workers spent donning and doffing protective gear, each of those workers in an individual action likely would have had to rely on the same expert report to prove the number of hours he or she had worked.10 If the workers could use that evidence to establish liability in individual cases, the Court held, it was permissible to do so in a class action. Allowing such evidence would not violate Tyson's right to present individual defenses, the Court further held, because Tyson's only defense at trial—attacking the reliability of the expert report—was a common defense to the class, to be resolved on summary judgment.
The Court distinguished Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes, 11 in which the plaintiffs "did not provide significant proof of a common policy of discrimination to which each employee was subject." "The only corporate policy" was "allowing discretion by local supervisors over employment matters," "and even then, the plaintiffs could not identify a common mode of exercising discretion that pervade[d] the entire company."12 In that circumstance, the Court said, the plaintiffs could not show discrimination by having a special master preside over depositions of a sample set of class members. Because "the employees were not similarly situated, none of them could have prevailed in an individual suit by relying on depositions detailing the ways in which other employees were discriminated against by their particular store managers.13 "[I]f the employees had brought 1 1/2 million individual suits, there would be little or no role for representative evidence."14 In contrast, the Court noted, the expert report at issue in Tyson Foods "could have been sufficient to sustain a jury finding as to hours worked if it were introduced in each employee's individual action."15
The Court declined to address Tyson's separate argument that the plaintiffs were required to demonstrate that there is a mechanism to identify uninjured class members (i.e., the employees who did not work any overtime) and ensure that those uninjured class members do not recover damages. The Court held that the question "whether uninjured class members may recover," while "one of great importance," was not yet fairly presented because the damages awards had not yet been disbursed, nor did the record reflect how they would be disbursed.16 Raising the possibility that Tyson may have "invited" any error by opposing a bifurcated trial on liability and damages, the Court left the decision of how to calculate those damages to the district court, at which point Tyson could challenge the allocation method.
Chief Justice Roberts concurred in the majority opinion, but wrote separately (in a section joined by Justice Alito) to "express [his] concern that the District Court may not be able to fashion a method for awarding damages only to those class members who suffered an actual injury."17 The Chief Justice noted the difficulty in "reverse engineer[ing]" the jury's verdict to determine the average amount of "donning and doffing time the jury found Tyson owed workers in each department," and stated that it would violate Article III to award relief by lump sum absent assurance that no uninjured class members would receive damages.18
Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Alito, dissented, contending that the majority's conclusion "created an unacceptable risk that Tyson would be held liable to a large class without adequate proof that each individual class member was owed overtime."19
Yesterday's decision indicates that a putative class may use representative or statistical evidence to prove a defendant's liability on a class-wide basis—and thus to support an argument that common issues predominate over individual ones—to the same extent that its class members could use such evidence to establish liability in an individual case. As a result, plaintiffs who rely on statistical or representative evidence at the class-certification stage will need to demonstrate that such evidence could permissibly demonstrate liability in an individual case, and that the evidence is otherwise reliable and admissible in its own right. Conversely, defendants should raise challenges to representative evidence, including any Daubert challenges to the expert methodology, at the class-certification stage.
Significantly, the Court declined to decide whether plaintiffs seeking to use such representative evidence must demonstrate a way to ensure that uninjured class members do not recover damages. The Chief Justice clearly stated his view (which was joined by Justice Alito) that any award that would inevitably compensate uninjured plaintiffs would violate Article III. The Court may be receptive to deciding this issue in another case. In the meantime, class-action defendants can continue to contest the validity of any damages model or award under which it would be difficult to ensure that uninjured class members do not receive compensation, including by raising arguments that a class cannot be or remain certified because individual calculations used in distributing awarded damages will predominate over common questions.

The past few days have been the best of the year for much of the dayfleet. Even some of the multi-day boats like Royal Star and the Spirit of Adventure have been fishing right out in front of San Diego this week. Yesterdays scores are reflective of whats been going on, with a nearly even split between the three tuna species.
Heres the fish count from yesterday, courtesy of Javier at Pt. Loma Sportfishing: 364 anglers on 18 boats caught 315 dorado, 132 albacore, 109 yellowfin tuna, 68 yellowtail and 121 bluefin tuna.
Big Ten Charter
Mike Keating docked his Spirit of Adventure at H&M Landing after a trip that was shortened to three days, with 21 anglers.
Jeremy Kassel of Yucaipa tied for first place with Billy Dole of Santa Barbara. Both young men had 37-pound albacore. Mike Graves had a 36.6-pound yellowfin tuna.
Mixed Bag For Charter
Randy Toussaint brought his Royal Star home to Fishermans Landing August 17 after a four-day Pfishcadora Charter with 16 anglers.
We stayed close, said Randy, and it worked out, with a good mixed catch, and some of those nicer yellowfin up to 40 pounds or so. We had an 80-pound bluefin up almost to the boat once, after a long fight, but it broke loose.
There was no jackpot on the trip, and most of the catch went directly to the processors. A former US Surgeon General and now recently retired at the age of 86, chartermaster Sheldon Siegel of LA was also a prominent allergist. He kindly posed for Bill Roecker with a typical yellowfin tuna caught on the trip.

Thirty Instruments Loaned by Ladies - Update
Performance, September 2013
This is a unique and playful disruption of museum practice, reflecting on the history of the Harris Museum & Art Gallery, formally engaging with the grand steps of the Harris Flights to create a display of objects loaned by ladies. And so, I present the performance: Announcing Thirty Instruments Loaned by Ladies
Normally, a new museum display appears almost silently, away from the public gaze, objects arrive through back doors, carried out of internal stores and down hidden corridors to be presented to us the viewer as we arrive in front of the display case; the presented objects quietly inside.
Here, we are turning this process on its head, announcing thirty loaned objects as if they were guests arriving at a formal dinner, publicly introduced as they are carried up these grand Harris Flights.
So, why thirty 'instruments' and why 'ladies'?
When the Harris Museum & Art Gallery first opened it was reported that one of the most interesting and popular displays was in rooms set aside for a show of microscopic and other apparatus, of which, thirty instruments were loaned by gentleman.
We are now redressing the balance with this display of Thirty Instruments Loaned by Ladies.
The original objects were indeed instruments; microscopes and other related objects.
Here, we question and play with the word 'instrument', these are very much personal objects, which have stories to be told by their owners – why they keep them, who previously owned them and the inevitable memories that they bring back.
These objects become talking points; we want to share our stories with others and so these items, things, objects become social objects.
In this process, the object becomes a tool, or instrument with which we engage with others, sharing our stories along the way.
And so, we present Thirty Instruments Loaned by Ladies
Please, take a seat, stay a while and listen to these rich personal stories as the objects are presented to the Harris Museum for display.
Thank you to those ladies who have so kindly loaned their thirty objects. They are now on display in the Harris Museum for you all to see, accompanied by a publication.
Please, come inside and take a look …

text: Traditional wealth planners, accountants, attorneys and others have 'taught' us the 'proper' methods of planning. This new and informative presentation suggests that by changing the paradigm of how we look at planning, we can move the discussion forward. By helping clients capture their values and goals, it provides a unique and holistic way to address the issues of the family so that transition is something to be cherished and celebrated. The focus shifts from strategies and tactics to a collaborative, values-driven model that allows families to accumulate and enjoy the wealth without destroying relationships, while maintaining integrity and the ability to make a meaningful impact on the family and community. Using a unique intergenerational model to understand family history, intention and shared experiences, planning is presented as a way to preserve family legacy so that the current and future generations will benefit.

Targeting Two Mutations to Develop New Lung Cancer Therapies
Cancer is characterized by rapid cell growth and proliferation, frequently caused by mutations of oncogenes such as KRAS. However, rapid growth alone is not sufficient for cancer development. Cancer cells need to escape from the immune system in order to grow, develop and metastasize. The most important anti-cancer immune responses are based on the HLA class I genes, which identify dangerous cancerous cells and inform the immune system. Our group recently discovered the NLRC5 gene is critical for the regulation of HLA class I genes. We also found NLRC5 function is frequently impaired in cancers, causing immune escape. We will study how impaired NLRC5 function and mutations in oncogenes work together using our lung cancer animal model. The study may lead to the development of new therapeutics and may provide a method to predict prognosis of patients.

We all know rich people face a number of potential horrors when summering in the Hamptons: the roadside fruit stand running out of tomatoes, the East Hamptons Starbucks misprinting "Miffy" instead of "Muffy" on their skinny latte cups, or even shrinkage after exiting an infinity pool. But now, Avenue Magazine adds one more potential pitfall to the list: entertaining.
Writer Suzanne O'Malley's essay, "How to Lose a Wife in the Hamptons," tells the cautionary tale of how a dinner party led to a marriage's demise.
Not only does one have to deal with the menu and cooking, but even more treasonous is finding the proper person to serve. O'Malley and her then-boyfriend are thrilled when "Coco (whose complexion was indeed deep-dark cocoa) [had] arrived and surprised us with his spotless, starched white serving jacket" to do the deed. Next was the invite list, strategically broken down into A List and B List — the B List was invited to partake
in cocktails and then, in a perfect world, would seamlessly leave while the A List sat down for a luxurious dinner.
Clearly this posed problems to the hostess who, "was torn between bidding adieu to writer George Plimpton (I hate to say this, but he was the last of the B-list to go) and attending to composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim, who had already seated himself at the dinner table."
Eventually O'Malley learned the ropes (and got hitched), becoming a self-proclaimed "Barefoot Hostessa," who hosted many fetes over the years.
It all seemed to be going well — until she decided to to cook a friendly dinner for 40 on the bay beach with the understanding that her husband would grill the chicken. Alas, he disappeared, acting more like a guest than co-host. Another guest's husband had to take over, which embarrassed O'Malley so much we assume she is actively seeking therapy to go with her alimony. But the real clincher was when this "wasband" launched a bottle
rocket into actor Griffin Dunne's face.
O'Malley laments, "I went home that night and asked for a divorce. And that was the end of my life as a Hamptons chef." [Avenue]

Before and after:
The clock bookcase is from Ikea. Only pair of shop bought curtains in our home, these ones were in the living room of the flat and I loved the colour so much I wanted to keep them!
Absolutely adore this limited edition tile. It reads 'life would be rubbish without you'
I love these photobooth photos though our family has grown by two since these were taken! Sue had a terrible time finding a maternity dress for our wedding, nothing fitted nicely until she found this little lace number from maternity occasion wear designer, Tiffany Rose which fitted like a glove and got so many compliments. If you are hunting for the perfect special occasion maternity dress I recommend you check them out. My beautiful dress was made by Stella Liliana in case you've forgotten!
The bridesmaids dresses were from Oasis, just wish I still fitted into the one I have!! You can see more wedding photos here and here if you fancy it. Can't believe it's been 20 months since we got married, would love to do it all over again. I'm going to need a new project once the house is done ;)

Salix granted three patents for Xifaxan
RALEIGH, N.C. — The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has awarded Salix Pharmaceuticals three patents related to a drug used for travelers' diarrhea.
Salix announced Wednesday that it had secured patents for the drug Xifaxan (rifaximin) covering its methods of treating travelers' diarrhea, as well as two related to the drug's chemical composition.
The patents are set to expire between 2024 and 2029.
Sagent to issue IPO
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — Sagent Pharmaceuticals has increased the number of shares it's issuing in its initial public offering on the Nasdaq, the drug maker said Wednesday.
Originally planning to offer 5 million shares, the company has increased that number to 5.75 million shares at $16 per share.
The underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 862,500 shares at the IPO price. The offering is expected to close next Tuesday.
Report: CVS/pharmacy logo creator dies at 86
BOCA RATON, Fla. — Joseph Selame, who designed a wide range of well-known logos and brand identities for dozens of nonprofit organizations and companies, including CVS/pharmacy, died on March 29 in Boca Raton, Fla. He was 86.
According to a New York Times article, Selame not only created graphic designs but also oversaw total brand integration. For example, he helped rename the pharmacy retailer — transforming Consumer Value Stores into CVS/pharmacy. The retailer's logo, which includes the letters CVS and the word pharmacy, separated by a slash mark, has become one of the most familiar in the country.
He also created a logo for supermarket chain Stop & Shop.
Selame founded Selame Design in 1960 with his wife, Elinor, who was in charge of marketing and communications strategies. She died in 2008 at 77, the New York Times reported. The firm was renamed BrandEquity in 1995.
Selame, who was born in Brooklyn in 1925, was trained in graphic design by the Army during World War II. He was known for his approach, which was rooted in simplification.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 74902
The kernel symbol "sys_call_table" omitted from ksyms
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:47:01 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; T312461;
Description of problem:
the kernel symbol sys_call_table is omitted from ksyms. I have found no other
bug report or explaination of why this deviation from kernel.org source has
occured. This interface is needed by products that use certain loadable
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
just look at the kernel symbol table and you will see that the
symbol "sys_call_table" is missing.
Additional info:
kernel modules never have been allowed to modify system calls, so they only can
call system calls this way. (yes I know some rootkits did it anyway)
And for calling system calls: all system calls are exported functions to
modules, so this cannot be a problem..
That is not true. They are allowed to - in the current kernel.org
tree as well as in previous (7.x) RH kernel lines.
This breaks LiS, for example, which exports STREAMS msging calls.
See http://www.gcom.com/home/linux/lis/index.html
So, this is a deviation from stock kernel source, both present and
future. Red Hat should fix this with a patch release immediately.
Unless this is fixed, we have little choice but to announce to our users that
Red Hat 8.0 has broken kernels and will not support LiS STREAMS. (All other
distributions will support LiS STREAMS except RedHat 8.0.) We will have little
choice by to exclude Red Hat 8.0 and only Red Had 8.0 from our supported
Please respond immediately as I may be releasing the information concerning Red
Hat's lack of support for LiS STREAMS to our entire user base shortly.
Oter vendors like Ulticom use LiS in there applications for Telco industry TEMs
and NEPS. Is RH AS not going to support that industry anymore? Most of
the "portable" Telco apps on UNIX could port to Linux with LiS, without LiS,
the impact to the industry would be tragic. Oh well, I guess there is always
United Linux!!!!
The following two system calls, from line 195 of asm-i386/unistd.h in kernel
version 2.5.38, are implemented by LiS. LiS is a loadable module.
#define __NR_getpmsg 188
#define __NR_putpmsg 189
So it is not correct to say that loadable modules do not implement system
calls. LiS has been implementing these calls for years.
Also, from line 521 of kernel/ksyms.c in 2.5.38 is the following:
Red Hat needs to bring its kernel DKI into compliance with the standard
kernels. The existence of this symbol in the 2.5 source shows that the kernel
developers intend to keep this symbol visible to modules.
If you want to remove the symbol, then cook up a patch for a registration
routine and get the kernel developers to put it into the stock kernel. LiS
will gladly use it.
David Grothe
LiS developer
This also makes it impossible to use the XTI library with the RH 8.0 kernel,
since this depends on LiS.
XTI is part of XNS, and thus required for Unix98 certification.
With this symbol removed, it will be impossible to get RH 8.0 anywhere near
Unix98 functionality, since several dozen Unix98-required library calls will
not work.
Also, while removing this symbol may may it harder for a rootkit to alter
syscalls, this is no real security enhancement: It is still possible to
find the address of the syscall table. I am not going to tell you how in
public - please ask your kernel security experts about this.
But if you insist on not publishing this symbol, one of the kernel modules
that no longer work might eventually include code to find the call table. If
such a module is open source, the rootkit hackers have been served a workaround
for your "security enhancement".
Best Regards,
Ole Husgaard.
Those two symbols (putmsg and getmsg) are also required by the ABI suite for
iBCS which is a loadable module. Linux loses its iBCS compatabiility if the
system call table can not be located and writable.
It is trivial for a rootkit to find the system call table. The exported
sys_close symbol can be used to scan lower memory for the table and index back 6
longs, or, it is possible to scan for the correct pattern of identical
sys_ni_syscall pointers, or even scan for the correct pattern of pointer
offsets. If security was the purpose, bear in mind that a system which presumes
the stupidity of the crook is never secure--particularly when source code is
Face it: it was a bad idea.
Please re-export the symbol so that legitimate uses of the system call table do
not have to go to these architecture-dependent extents to locate the call table.
how cute
I was willing to work with the LiS people to actually fix LiS to do the right
thing (and to explain why the export is removed) but this is a great way to make
me loose interest.
We have presented a number of reasons for why the removal of sys_call_table is
both a bad idea and ineffective to its stated purpose.
So why is it that the best that you can come up with is an insult?
If you have an approved method for LiS to hook its system calls while remaining
a loadable driver, why don't you share the information with us?
I also want to register my objection, and I hope to speak for the entire LiS
community, to the absolute arrogance on the part of Red Hat to mark the status
of this report as CLOSED while active dialog is going on.
Just who do you think you are that you can unilaterally make changes to
standard kernel source in such a manner as to render the kernel non-compliant
with UNIX98 and break any number of existing drivers? Whatever happened to the
concept of the Bazaar? This is more like the Bizarre. Or maybe Kafka.
I understand that this may not be the most interesting topic, and statements
like "write a flame comment" don't exactly encourage collaboration, but the
reason so many people are upset is that "we" (LiS, telco developers, and
others) want our products to run on a stock RedHat Linux distribution, as well
as other distributions. We DO NOT want to exclude the stock RedHat
distribution from our future releases compatibility lists. I appologize for
the "flame bugzilla.redhat.com" comment posted and request that at a minimum,
someone from RedHat please explain the reasoning behind these changes and if
possible, work with LiS and other developers so that "we" can continue to
maintain stock RedHat Linux compatibility. "We" all want this to work, each
for our own reasons.
I will keep the Bug state as "Closed Won't fix", but make a final request that
either within this bug's comments or on RedHat's developer network
(http://redhat.com/devnet/), someone within RedHat post more information,
create a developer discussion forum and work with LiS and any other project
that runs into these problems introduced by the kernel symbols that have been
removed/omitted in a stock redhat kernel.
Thank You for your time,
Shanan Levin
Shanan: I am glad one of you is prepared to apologise for the
appalling childishness displayed by the link Arjan posted.
In your particular circumstance, probably a better solution
is to provide a simple permanent -ENOSYS hook patch to the mainline
kernel. This allows you to provide system calls correctly, without
the horrible ugliness and danger of sys_call_table hacks.
There are already spaces reserved in entry.S for your system calls.
The canonical example: sys_nfsservctl
Arjan: I suggest simply ignoring email@example.com and others
"demanding" things from Red Hat in favour
of people who are prepared to act in an adult manner.
the "mainline" stable kernel exports sys_call_table, so no patch is required
to the official 2.4 kernels
nfsd module can be unloaded with clients present, LiS does not need to
be unloaded so sys_nfsservc is not completely applicable.
There is a second problem with the example of nfsservctl. As far as I can tell,
this method won't work for LiS.
sys_nfsservctl gets itself into the kernel by having the user configure it in
with menuconfig. If it isn't desired, sys_nfsservctl is #defined to be
sys_ni_syscall. NFS doesn't have to put itself into the table defined in
entry.S because it is already there at compile time.
The LiS entry points are not already there at compile time, and I'm under the
impression that they never will be in the official kernel or in any kernels
provided by a vendor. The LiS entry points are already set to sys_ni_syscall to
return -ENOSYS.
This brings us back to the original problem. LiS needs to put itself into an
already compiled and running kernel, and the only way to do that is to modify
sys_call_table when it is loaded.
If there is another officially approved way to do this without recompiling the
kernel, then somebody please let us know.
Arjan: I was out yesterday - so let me apologize today
for any hurt feelings. The message linked to was addressed
to a community of LiS people, and was actually a followup
on a thread. (The thread's idea was to have everybody
whose plans are hurt by this kernel deviation to write
his reasons here so that RH knows. The ones it was addressed
to - i.e. the people from the LiS mail list - took it as
intended by presenting technical reasons against the move.)
I don't mind you guys ignoring me personally, but I don't
see how this has anything to do with complete validity (IMHO)
of the others' technical issues here. Ignore my comments
if you wish, but do answer theirs - please.
I also have an interest in seeing this missing symbols fixed in Red Hat 8. We
develope the Communications Server for Linux here in IBM and have already got
support for Red Hat 7.2, 7.3 stock and SuSE 8. We do not want to make a
statement that the Red Hat 8 is not supported. Will this problem also be
expected in the next Red Hat Advanced server release? We use the LiS Streams
code as well and we already are having alot of users migrating to Linux. This
type of problem will not be good Press for any involved. Please keep us
informed of where to find more discussions on this matter.
Thank you.
The syscall table is no longer visible in the 2.5 kernel either, since there is
no way to safely modify it on an SMP system.
If people want to support the 2.6 kernel, they will have to modify their
software in the exact same way they need to modify it in order to support recent
Red Hat systems based on the 2.4 kernel.
Asking Red Hat to export the syscall table again for 2.4 will not buy you
anything except some extra time, once 2.6 comes out the changes need to be made
will the IBM dude that keeps adding IBM internal things to this bug please stop
doing so.
grep sys_call_table /boot/System.map
thank you for reminding us to remove this as well.
grep sys_call_table /proc/ksyms
---- Additional Comments From email@example.com 2005-07-11 15:00 EDT -------
Yes, please close this bug.

You can tip the pan and ignite the Cognac, or ignite the sauce with a match for an invigorating spectacle. But all these acts of derring-do are unnecessary: just bring the sauce to a boil for a minute to burn off the alcohol, whisk, whisk, whisk, and then add the cream, whisking all the while. Serve with roasted potatoes.

We removed our dilapidated old porch light with the missing glass pane someone had obviously smashed out in an effort to get a CFL bulb in the fixture. Being the front door light and all, the smashed out pane was one of the first things we noticed (right after the shed that was falling in on itself) when we first viewed the house and was high up on the "things we must replace" list.
So the other day after getting a call from friends saying that they were 45 minutes away, we decided to do a quick swap-out. Because who doesn't install a new porch light just to show off to friends? We've honed our skills in the electrical department at our hive, so we knew 45 minutes was pleannnnty of time. I consulted the master electrical circuitry spreadsheet my dad created over the course of the past eight months, and killed the power to the porch (plus the little room, half the living room, a sconce in the basement, etc. I know, it makes no sense).
S made quick work of removing the old fixture, and had it in a box for the trash (above) before I was even upstairs from the basement, and I didn't even stop for a popsicle and cold iced tea along the way. We then unpacked the new fixture, being careful not to break its bubble glass dome (side note, I LOVE the way the bubble glass matches the pendant in the kitchen). S stepped up on the porch chair, used the new wire nuts that came with the light to attach the hot and neutral wires to the fixture, wrapped the ground around the grounding nut/wire and secured the whole fixture in place...all while I snapped a few photos of the old light. By the time I turned the camera lens up to snap a shot of his progress, he was securing the metal criss-cross protectors around the glass dome. I wasn't kidding when I said we've honed our skills!
And that's when it happened.... I stepped back to take a photo of our glorious new light and it struck me that the yellow glue-like remnants on the porch ceiling, from what I can only assume was someone else's duct tape fiasco, were making our new light look bad.
So this fall when it finally cools down to I-actually-want-to-be-outside, this-weather-feels-like-summer-in-Maine temperatures and I take on the door painting project, I'll pull out a little step stool and some goo-be-gone, which I hope will remove the mess. If not, we'll be adding "paint vinyl porch ceiling" to our to-do list, and as you can see from the list at right, we're certainly not wanting for projects at our beehive.

Leo Lobby
What if you could experience the world like Leonardo Da Vinci did? Like a warm-up before a run, The Lobby is designed to introduce you to the mind of Leonardo and get your curiosity burning. You'll leave The Lobby with some mental tools you can use during your visit to the museum and in your everyday life.
First, you'll learn seven key principles that guided Leonardo's inquiry: Look, Sense, Question, Connect, Document, Draw, Make. The Lobby then offers a variety of brain-teasers, spatial reasoning exercises, blind contour drawings and even a build-it-yourself miniature of a portable bridge invented by Leonardo himself. Launch your adventure by writing down as many questions as you can in The Lobby's book of questions, which is filled by visitors like you.
This museum exists to help you discover it. Like Leonardo was, we're committed to the idea that there is no one "correct" way of thinking. Whether your interests lie in science, technology, art, or mathematics (or elsewhere), your unique quest to understand the world lasts as long as you can remain curious.
Staff Tip: The originators of blind contour drawing believed that, although it wouldn't give you a pretty picture, it would train the eye and hand to work together and teach attention to detail.

About Registered Agent Services
Change of Registered Agent
You are not required to reside in Delaware to incorporate in Delaware. Delaware law requires every corporation to have and maintain a Registered Agent in the State of Delaware. This may be an individual resident in the State of Delaware whose office is identical with the corporation's registered office, or a domestic corporation, or a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in the State.
Your Registered Agent is your representative in the State of Delaware who is responsible for receiving and forwarding legal documents on behalf of your corporation. Basic services performed by a Registered Agent include providing a street address for service of process in the State of Delaware, and forwarding to you official state documents such as the Annual Franchise Tax Report, or L.L.C. Tax Report when required.
The primary key function of a Delaware registered agent is receiving and forwarding franchise tax reports in a timely fashion. The State of Delaware does not require companies who incorporate here to furnish information about their owners such as home addresses or principal places of business. Therefore, the primary system the Secretary of State uses to deliver important documents, such as franchise tax reports, to these companies is through their registered agents. In the event you misplace the original report we send to you from the State, we can always order reprints of the original if you need them.
In the event that process is served upon your corporation or LLC at our office, we will scan and e-mail the document to you within 24 hours, and forward the original via Certified Mail at no charge.
As native Delaware residents and a professional entity formation firm, we serve as Registered Agent for Corporations and Limited Liability Companies worldwide. We also manage the entire Incorporating and LLC formation process quickly and accurately. Our firm is dedicated to performing quality professional service and we strive to make sure your Annual Franchise Tax, or LLC Tax Report, is paid on time to avoid penalties. We take your Delaware Incorporation and LLC process seriously – we live and work here.
Our Delaware Registered Agent fee is $100 per year – guaranteed to remain unchanged.
When Advantage Delaware forms your Corporation or LLC, our Registered Agent fee is free for that year if formed between January 1st and September 30th. Your next Registered Agent fee will be due at the time you pay your Delaware Franchise Tax (March 1st for Corporations, and June 1st for LLCs)
If your Corporation or LLC was formed between October 1st and December 31st, our registered Agent fee is free for those three months plus the following year. Meaning your next Registered Agent fee will be due the following year when you pay your second Delaware Franchise Tax.
Pay 2 years of Registered Agent fees in advance for only $180 – 10% discount. 3 years of Registered Agent fees for only $240 – a 20% discount!

A 35-year-old woman about to give birth for the fourth time became lost in a northern California forest, gave birth, watched bees and mosquitos attack the placenta, then set fire to the forest in a desperate attempt to alert rescuers to her predicament.
On Thursday, June 25, Amber Pangborn went into labor on the way to her parents' house, and decided to take an unfamiliar short-cut through the forest. She told Action News Now, "I was told about this back road and people had shown it to me a few times but I have never driven it by myself."
After running out of gas on the French Camp Road in the Plumas National Forest, she gave birth to her daughter, Marisa, then survived on apples for two days. Panghorn told KCRA-TV, "I thought we were going to die. And there was no cell service, there was no…there was nothing."
Once the bees and mosquitos attacked, she told KCRA, "I tried to not get them to sting her." By Saturday, Pangorn was desperate, recalling, "I was just there at the end, thinking, 'Oh my God." I wasn't sure if we were going to actually get out of there."
She finally made a fire in a cry for help, but it spread quickly. She recalled, "Like, the whole side of the mountain caught on fire. I was looking at Marisa and was like, 'I think Mommy just started a forest fire.'"
U.S. Forest Service officials received reports of smoke in the area, and sent a fire engine and helicopter, which ultimately found Panghorn. She said, "I was crying, I was so happy. I thought we were gonna die. I'm so glad someone had finally seen us."
Pangborn's mother, Dianna Williams, told the Los Angeles Times that Panghorn, who had undergone gastric bypass surgery years ago, had wanted to induce labor. She said, "They would have never found her if she didn't start the fire. She was worried what the wild animals would do."
Williams knew Panghorn was coming to her home; when Panghorn did not arrive on Thursday, Williams put out a Facebook message asking if anyone knew where her daughter was.
Pangborn was taken to a hospital in Oroville and released; Marisa was taken to UC Davis Medical Center and was pronounced in good condition.
Forest Service supervisor Chris French told the Times that his office could not confirm whether Panghorn's story was true because no one from the Service was there when the baby was born.

Squabble Creek Trail is a 4.4 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Rockwall, Texas that features a great forest setting and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from April until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
mountain biking
trail running
The trail is flat and fast, some areas are still being improved from the nearby construction. Overall, the trail is a good option for locals who are short on time or someone just wanting to get on a new trail. very appropriate for youth mountain biking.
Even though the sign said Trails CLOSED there were several people on the trails here. Several areas where trails disappear but still love this place. Went again today and and sign said Trails OPEN. Same disappearing areas but a great out of the gym workout!
is this trail open now? would love to know before going:)
Fun little trail through the woods - shaded and clean. Hard to follow...not marked well. Can't wait to see what they do with the restoration.
I love exploring at Squabble Creek!!! Some beautiful trees were recently cut down for this gas line which confuses people on the trail and saddens me but I still enjoy walking here and getting into the creek.
all trails still closed exept for biking trails. A heads up on google would have been nice.
Is the trail opened now ??!
it's close
The trail is closed would be nice to know ahead of time
For a small easily accessible trail this one is very good. I see quite a few comments that say it can be hard to find the trail at times...well that is not exactly true. The trail here is tightly packed with many switchbacks, so while it is true you might get confused on which trail is "yours", it is very easy to find "a" trail. There is a map upfront so take a pic, go on a hike, and don't worry too much about getting lost ;)
p.s. there is also a porta potty and water at the front of the trail.
it was fun and pretty scary at night!
This could be a great trail system if the trails were marked. This has to be the worse marked trails that I have ever been on.
Would be better if trails/loops were marked better.
Nice trail! Not too hard at all & mostly shaded. Super convenient water hose at the entrance to was your feet off in case you get a little muddy.
Trail should be rated as Easy, not Moderate. But, a very nice hike within Rockwall. A hidden gem.
Nice shady creek side loops. At some points I lost the trail, but looking forward to making another trip here soon.
Good moderate trail.
Pretty good for a local trail. If you do all the loops it is about 6 miles. The trail is allso used for mountain biking, so make sure you are going the correct directions (bikes one-way & hikers the opposite). I think the max elevation changes was about 50'.
Be E.
Great for moderate hikers and bikers (more advanced for bikers). 5+ miles if you do all of the loops. mostly shady. *I like the fact that they send hikers one way and bikers the opposite way. That way it is easier to spot one another without sneaking up on someone. Has become one of my favorite hiking areas.
*This is a great hiking area that resembles trails from places like Philmont for Boys Scouts, without the pine trees. Would be a great practice hike for scouts.
so cool
great trails but very muddy
DR Horton is building all around trail area, so they have ruined the trail in some areas. They have said that they will come in and repair trails once they are done. Other than that we had a wonderful run. The kids really enjoyed the hills and mountain biking obstacles. We have been back three more times!
Perfect trail for the heat. Almost completely shaded. Didn't even need my sunglasses. Looks like part of loop 3 has been bulldozed, so it's not as long as it used to be. The trail is in excellent shape. Lots of small stumps & exposed roots, which make it more technical for runners. I would actually rate it moderate. I ran about 18 miles. Did multiple loops & explored EVERY path I could find. I loved it.
Having moved here a few months ago, I was looking forward to trying out this trail. Now that it's mostly dried out from the Spring rains, I got a chance to bike it this morning. It's mostly flat, with tight corners and a few small hills. Since it's close to the house, I'll probably bike it many more times, but it's not as challenging as other trails in the area. Still, if you're looking for a quick trail and you're in the area, check it out. The tree cover cannot be beat!
Pretty close to the house! Great for getting some seat time!
Decent ride. Good place for beginners. Some litter in the otherwise clear creek, unfortunately.
Easy hike and mostly very flat. This is more of a mountain biking trail than a hiking trail. Its a good running trail to add a bit a variety to your normal road work. The biggest issue I have is the lack of good markers on the trail. Looking at the map (at the trailhead) it seemed like if I made right turns the whole way, I would make all the loops and complete the full 6 miles. That was not the case and somehow missed a middle section.
I went back and tried to pick the middle section up as soon as I got back to the trail head and still couldn't find it. That being said, you cannot get "lost" and if you are biking the trail you have some good signage facing that way ( I found out later).
Ill go again... but just to stretch my legs and only if I am in the area.
It was clean and the dogs found it a little more interesting than their own back yard.
Unless you live in the immediate area, it is not worth the drive.
5 min away is a much better, much longer trail....
I'm a solidly intermediate mountain biker and Squabble is my "home trail" as it's the closest to me and I've ridden it many times. It is mostly a beginner trail, relatively short and mostly flat. Loops 1 and 2 have a little bit of climbing, but even that is pretty tame. All loops can be bypassed. The real fun and challenge of Squabble is trying to keep up your speed while negotiating the course. It's a very twisty, loopy trail with plenty of switchbacks, tree gates and close-in trees, and very few stretches that remain straight for more than 20 yards or so (it's so twisty, my Endomondo app is nearly a mile short when I'm done - this is not a trail to practice sprinting). Once you look at it from that perspective, it becomes much more fun even if it won't seriously challenge the skills of anybody above beginner level. The trail itself is in very good shape and is well-maintained.

CommentAdd a Comment
A good resource that explains why we have to be careful what we accept as truth from the worldwide web. Gave me the occasional chuckle.
The Internet disseminates facts, opinions, and outright fraud, and its questionable reliability has become a significant concern in public discourse. In Virtual Unreality, journalism professor Charles Seife describes in detail how information on the Internet can be falsified, manipulated, and perpetuated. Providing concrete examples of Internet fakery, Seife serves as an engaging and witty guide through the wilderness of digital information, both reliable and fraudulent. Virtual Unreality doesn't suggest that people avoid using the Internet for research, but does provide techniques for identifying the useful and verifiable sites and services - how to find the wheat amid all that chaff. History and Current Events newsletter September 2014.

Product Description
Reeds sold individually.
G1 reeds are made solely by John Elliott, using a combination of traditional and innovative techniques producing a precision reed. Each tube of cane is personally hand selected by John and only the best will be deemed acceptable for G1's high standards.
These reeds work well in the both plastic and blackwood chanters made by Hardies. The reeds are best suited in our opinion for the pipe band environment for Pipe majors looking for a good projection from their chanters.

- Great Rupert
Value Quality PriceGreat reed at great price with great service. (Posted on 4/3/2018)
- Really like it... JD
Value Quality Pricebut decided to try a medium and "the strength of this reed in too damn high!". That's my fault, though. I can play it for a few tunes and it sounds amazing; it is throaty and rich. I play it weekly to build blowing strength and its making my playing on an easy Warnock reed even better - kind of like a sprinter training with a drag chute. I would recommend it based on that alone. As always, USA Kilts' service was expeditious and professional. (Posted on 5/13/2016)

Michael Keaton and his acclaimed film Birdman flew away with the top honors at the 2014 Gotham Independent Film Awards on Monday (01Dec14).
The Batman star nabbed the Best Actor prize for his role as a fallen movie star in Alejandro G. Inarritu's drama, while the film itself won the biggest award of the night for Best Feature.
Upon receiving his accolade, Keaton joked about his former career as the Caped Crusader, and said, "I want to thank the folks of Gotham. It's good to be home."
Julianne Moore took home the Best Actress trophy for her role as a woman with early onset Alzheimer's disease in Still Alice, while other acting accolades went to Dear White People's Tessa Thompson for Breakthrough Actor and Steve Carell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo, who were given a Special Jury Award Ensemble Performance for their wrestling film Foxcatcher.
Meanwhile, Ana Lily Amirpour collected the Bingham Ray Breakthrough Director Award for A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, CITIZENFOUR, chronicling infamous whistleblower Edward Snowden, won Best Documentary, and despite going into the ceremony with four nominations, Richard Linklater's Boyhood only left with the Independent Film Audience Award.
Special prizes were handed to Foxcatcher director Bennett Miller, who was feted for his career achievement in directing, and Tilda Swindon received a similar award for acting.
Uma Thurman hosted the event held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York.

In memory of Rebekah Bunting
We are remembering one of our local children Rebekah Bunting who became sick 2 years ago this month and whose Mum & Dad and all who loved her came to know the cruel and devastating meaning of 4 brutal letters: DIPG which turned their world upside down and changed their lives forever.
At just 9 years old Rebekah became sick in March 2013, she was diagnosed with DIPG in June 2013 and just 11 weeks later on 10th August 2013 gained her Angel wings.
To view the DIPG campaign poster click on the image above.
Please consider leaving a message of support for her family on their DIPG Awareness site: https://www.facebook.com/RebekahBunting
DIPG is the most fatal of all childhood Brain Tumours, and accounts for approximately 80% of all Brain Cancer deaths in Children.
DIPG occurs in a most delicate area of the brainstem (the "pons"), which controls many critical functions, including breathing and blood pressure.
Its location, as well as the way it infiltrates normal brain tissue, makes surgical removal impossible and it is one of the most resistant of all cancers to chemotherapy treatments. Currently the only standard UK treatment is 6 weeks of palliative radiotherapy to relieve symptoms before the tumour returns more aggressively.
Unlike many other childhood cancers, there has been little progress in improving treatments and cure rates for DIPG over the last few decades. DIPG affects 40 children a year in the UK with most Research funding coming from the parent-led charities who have all lost a child to the disease.
Abbie's Army are a UK parent-led charity dedicated to not only raising awareness about DIPG but as foundational partners in the DIPG Collaborative have been leading the way in funding peer review approved DIPG Research programmes.
Rebekah's parents support the vital work of Abbie's Army and would like people to consider making a simple text donation in memory of their daughter.
With a simple text you can Support dedicated DIPG Research to help find a cure and change the outcomes for other Children:

With its plethora of technical features and mighty good-looks, The Nano Pull Over Jacket isn't merely the kind of jacket you wear when you ride, bit perhaps the kind you ride to wear.
The Storm Ultra-Lite Fabric offers a 100% soft hand Rip Stop Nylon and DWR treatment for wind and water repellency. The high collar is lined with peached micro fiber for additional coverage and warmth from the wind-chill. If the weather is indecisive, the completely detachable hood is helmet compatible and easily rolls into the collar to be stowed until needed. Zippers are stitched and laminated for high water resistance.
While the Nano Pullover Jacket excels at resisting weather and remaining lightweight, riding the trail can indeed break a sweat. With that in mind, Race Face augmented the Nano Pullover with perforated underarm panels and a back seam with a mesh-lined air vent, keeping you from overheating. Should the weather do a 180 all together, quickly and easily shed the Nano and pack it into itself and ride on.
